BENJAMIN M. STATLER COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND MINERAL RESOURCES
FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING
CUMULATIVE COURSE PORTFOLIO
ENGR 101 - SUMMER 2019
The Fundamentals of Engineering Program (FEP) provides significant academic support and a variety of
educational and social opportunities for new students to help them adjust to the new responsibilities of
university life and to succeed in their chosen major. First year engineering courses (ENGR 101, 102, 150, 155,
191, and MAE 102), are designed to help students build problem solving skills and technical communication
skills. Strong teamwork and communication skills are essential to a successful engineering career, and students
begin developing and honing these skills in their first college courses.
The Cumulative Course Portfolio accounts for a 5% of the overall course grade in this class. In order to receive
credit, students must meet the rubric requirements listed in this policy.
Throughout the semester, students will build an electronic portfolio of their engineering course work and
watch TED Talk videos related to important engineering skills. Additionally, students must maintain an Excel
spreadsheet based on the course syllabus that tracks their performance in class. Towards the conclusion of the
semester, students will write a reflection essay on their cumulative experiences from the course and related
assignments, and at the end of the semester submit their final electronic portfolio through their MIX account’s
Google Drive.
TED Talk Videos
Appropriate TED Talk videos can be found through https://www.ted.com/talks or on YouTube. It is
recommended that you consider important skills you would like to better develop that are critical to success in
college and engineering. This includes, but is not limited to, time management and organization, teamwork,
failure, leadership, ethics, communication, and more. Students are expected to watch five (5) videos and write
a 200 word summary on each. These summaries are due throughout the semester (see deadlines below).
Reflection Essay
Reflect up on your two course projects. Discuss your experiences as a team member, your team dynamic, and
team leadership style(s). Did you experience any conflicts, and if so how were they handled? Do you see
differences or improvements in team dynamic between project 1 and 2? How can you use what you learned in
the modules, in your assigned readings, and from the TED Talks to improve your contributions as a team member
on future projects? Why is teamwork important in engineering in general?
Excel Gradebook
Students must maintain an Excel spreadsheet based on the course syllabus that tracks their performance on all
graded work (including assignments, quizzes, exams, and projects) and computes the weighted average to
correctly calculate the overall course grade. This spreadsheet should accurately track student performance in
their engineering class throughout the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to update this document as
grades are received, then include the final spreadsheet in their electronic portfolio.

ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO INSTRUCTIONS
(1) In Google Drive, create a folder with your engineering course number, section number, and last
name, separated by an underscore. For example, ENGR101_001_GADDE. All content and folders
below should be created in this master folder.
(2) Create a folder called “Assignments”. Upload all your personal assignments into this folder. They
should be named using the following system:
Lastname_AssignmentName (for example, GADDE_GrandChallengesEssay)
(3) Create a folder called “Course Materials and Notes”. Upload all PowerPoints, supplemental
readings, personal notes you took, and other course-related materials into this folder. Name the
files appropriately.
(4) Create a folder for each project you had in the course, if any. Names these folders “Project #”.
Upload all relevant assignments into the appropriate folder. This may include the team charter,
gantt chart, project description, presentations, technical report, meeting minutes, grading rubrics
etc.
(5) Upload the course syllabus.
(6) Upload your reflection essay, named following the same format as assignment files.
(7) Upload your completed gradebook, named following the same format as assignment files.
